APE Opportunity, Emory Outbreak Response Team

Description 

This Emory Outbreak Response Team, which is part of the Emory COVID Response Collaborative (ECRC) and led by Dr. Jodie Guest, provides COVID-19 resources to communities in Georgia that are disproportionally affected by the pandemic. In the past, the ORT’s work has ranged from organizing and running COVID-19 testing events to delivering masks to students through a school meal delivery program.

This work is highly collaborative and dynamic. We are therefore seeking students who are flexible, professional, and comfortable working with a range of community partners and participants.
